Two right triangles are graphed on a coordinate plane. One triangle has a vertical side of 4 and a horizontal side of 10. The other triangle has a vertical side of 12 and a horizontal side of 30. Could the hypotenuses of these two triangles lie along the same line? No, because they are not similar triangles No, because one is larger than the other Yes, because they are similar triangles Yes, because they are both right triangles

OpenStudy (jack1):

you have studied this before and read the tutorial link i sent, yeah? because the last 5 questions you've posted on the same topic seem to indicate that you're only really after the answers to the questions... rather than how to solve them, s'all...?

OpenStudy (jack1):

so the easiest way to start this question would be to graph each triangle

OpenStudy (jack1):

so why dont you start by drawing both of the triangles on a coordinate plane as described, and see if you can line up the 2 hypotenuse?

OpenStudy (jack1):

that way you can practice the stuff we've done in the last 5 questions and be ready for this exam coming up, yeah?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

bro i dont need your help anymore but thanks

OpenStudy (jack1):

ok, then why are you still posting questions if you dont need help? because i'll happily ban anyone who gives you direct answers rather than trying to teach you how to solve these questions yourself... k? :)

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

i dont need (YOUR) HELP THANK YOU BUY

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

because i dont understand when you help me

OpenStudy (jack1):

that's because i'm trying to help YOU to do the work, rather than saying "the answer is E, because..." so best idea is : why dont you start by drawing both of the triangles on a coordinate plane as described, and see if you can line up the 2 hypotenuse of the triangles?

OpenStudy (jack1):

so how'd you go graphing these dude?

OpenStudy (jack1):

so u understand, right, that the vertical height of each triangle helps solve the gradient (slope) if the hypotenuse, yeah?
